Our Fears Realized...Changes to the Situation with the Newest Boys

A safety plan was immediately put in place. We did a lot of safety things with the kids last night.

As soon as I get a hold of the caseworker we will be asking for these kids to be moved ASAP.

My hubby and I agree on that plan. I feel it's more complex than just asking them to be moved.

My heart is broken for what was, my broken dreams of what could have been, and lost hope for certain things that could have been.

Of course I wrote a note to someone interested in foster care two nights ago. I told her I'd experienced everything in this world and as I typed it I knew there was one thing I hadn't. It bothered me that I said I'd experienced everything and yet didn't want to point out that I hadn't experienced this or get into it or acknowledge that there was something out there that we could be subjecting our core family to through foster care. I sent the note anyway and got that pit in my stomach. Less than 24 hours later exactly what I was thinking of came to life.

Please pray for our family. Situations are always complicated. We want to be strong as a core family, to handle this with wisdom, and for God to heal our hearts, probably my husband's and mine the most. Pray for safety and that this type of situation NEVER comes our way again.
